during my daily travels yesterday I ran across a 48" blacklight and fixture at Walmart for $9 and change in the lighting section, great price!

Last night 'twas witching Hallowe'en
Dearest; an apple russet- brown
I pared, and thrice above my crown
Whirled the long skin; they watched in keen;
I flung it far; they laughed and cried me shame
Dearest, there lay the letter of your name!

Stopped in at CVS this morning and picked up 2 strobe-light figures, a 3 LED strobe for a JOL and a 25 LED string of JOL lights.

As you are now so once was I,
As I am now so you must be,
Prepare for death & follow me.

okay guys, I made a mistake, the Black Light at Walmart isnt a 48" it's a 24" for $9 and change, still a good price but not the 48" I thought it was.

Got these at Party City for a buck on sale. Ditto a similar set with skeletons cracking the windows. Not a bad price to effect ratio. Look for those orange tags.

I also have cool looking red lights and I also bought some 25 ft outdoor extension cords and bought some outlets that has
built in surge protectors.

I bought two simple pvc piping pieces a elbow and and some long pvc pipe filled it with Ice and it worked
to perfection great chilled low lying creepy fog!!!!

And this is what I still half to get

- about 5 more foam tombstones one that has little lights on them
-a 1000 wt fog machine/ Ground fogger and another remote controller which is better a ground fogger or a
ground fogger???

I also would like to get a lot of candy, A cool looking 6 and a half feet tall arch way entrance thats says cemetery
And If I can afford more than what I am projecting or I will get them next year.

A realistic looking 6ft coffin and then buy a 3ft popping out ghoul triggered by remote control to put into the coffin, a
6 ft Jason animinated prop , A creepy cloth, about one or 2 more fog machines 1000wts, w/ fog chillers, another mini strobe,
maybe some fake body parts around the graveyard scene, and some cool fencing next year.
